to people and, and what caused the time of time? dentrix? oh no, just there is no channel that covers world news like we do, we revisit faces. the state houses are really invested in that. and that's a privilege. as a journalist, the voting under wayne eco doors general election weeks of to one of the presidential candidates was assassinated. the 0 venue. it's good to have you with us. this is elsa 0 light from the. also coming up, the dutch confirmed the will supply ukraine with the f. 16 fighter jets to help in the fight against russia. russia's 1st moving mission in almost 50 years fails as

a spacecraft crashes into the lunar surface. and spain be going to win the women's bills to the 31st, the fight securities in place across ecuador, as the nation cast ballots in the presidential election. it comes just days after presidential hopeful was assassinated. the army was deployed to several cities ahead of the votes. and the president declared a state of emergency after a tax on several candidates increase in organized crime and gang violence dominated campaigning ahead of the pole. about 50 percent of voters said that they were still undecided, making their selection one of the most unpredictable in decades. our latin america to lucy and newman has more from kito a need. ecuador is unprecedented. political and security crisis,

an unprecedented snap general election. a religious ceremony flanked by special forces served as the final campaign event. quickly scan to d dot would replacing assassinated anti corruption and crime candidates, but non, to be sent, seal was when that it was go, ecuador is now and knock of state, and otherwise, how can we explain what's happening? we are a country that exports the largest amount of drugs abroad that also consumes as many drugs at home. if he seems to pick up the reading of the polls by diminishing margin as lawyer lisa gonzales from the left wing citizen revolution party, still lived by exiled former president bluff. i quoted that he was sentenced to 8 years and up sent you on corruption charges that he denies from abroad. he told ecuador and said the good days will be back under lisa gonzales was buys that i see a country on its knees for going to star to put it back on its feet so we can walk

and then run in a year and a half. we're going to control security and the countries, the prisons and the borders. but the candidate who poses to use an iron fist against crime is 40 year old jun topic, a kyra's method newcomer in politics. the millionaire economist and security impresario shows off his tattoos, from recent military missions. he flushing the french foreign legion in somalia, syria and ukraine, and was trained as a sniper topic last off comparisons to ramble, but tells out to xerox the admirers. el salvador is controversial. president and i look at it i, those are going on with buddies and i don't agree with everything he does. but if that's something that i admire about help solve those presidents, which we will implement in my government, is clarity and determination. read a new form of leadership with energy. urgency is determined to do what is necessary now to the door and have a lot of choices. the winner won't have a lot of time. according to the constitution,

the new president can only stay in office long enough to finish the outgoing president administration. in other words, about 18 months after that, they will have to be a new presidential election, a situation many believe will increase in stability and govern ability. here in ecuador, the see and human, i'll just here, i clicked on the see a new men joins this know from key to lucy. yeah. how's the voting going so far? of the we're in a, one of the largest voting station since a very large school here in key thoughts so far so good. there's been a steady flow of it with orange coming in to vote. and there are police and soldiers guarding this area. in general, we haven't heard of of any incidents that could disrupt the voting process. however, overnight, the candidate increased in a suite that said that he had received

a death threat from the mexican drug cartel, highly skilled, new generation. se trimball suited that a reference to the policies that he promises to implement, which would include militarize into ports from which most of the cocaine goes out and also the borders of this country. so, we don't, he is obviously says that he's frightened. how well he will be protected throughout this voting period. we've seen of a couple of candidates to the national assembly for also being protected by police and also electrical observers. so while things are going well, so far, there is this sense that there is, there is that there is a danger out there looming. and that's something that people are very aware of. and how is that affecting the political landscape ahead of the selection? because the death threats the assassination of mr. v. of asencion just recently, you would expect that that has a significant impact on voters or it's

does. i think that it would be unfair to say that that security safety wasn't on the top of the agenda anyway. this has been something that's been hitting and hitting the ordinary citizen very hard for a long time, but after the assassination of a, of a presidential candidate, it really didn't come to the 4. and it's made all the other presidential candidates make security, their top priority as well. remember, this is a country that has very serious economic problems. uh, 7 out of 10 people out of work or proper work, formal employment. so of yes, it has simply emphasized an issue that everyone was aware of and now made it more necessary than ever to have a new government that can deal with it. but again, they'll only have one and a half years to do that. it's possible that is the next government, whether it's president that or either the woman who is students leading in the polls release of themselves. so whoever else wins does

a very good job in that year and a half. and that may be that that person could be re elected, but these are all speculations at this point. absolutely, thank you for your reporting. let's see a newman. they are reporting from the polling station and keep the in ecuador, thank you. oh, presidential runoff is underway in guatemala. the 2nd election that we're following today, voters there are choosing between a progressive congressman bernardo, our hollow, and sandra torres. a former 1st lady and conservative candidate memo or apollo, is following events in guatemala city for us. the things id is brewing over guatemala is national election. which county bank consent, guatemala city recent says she's trying to stay optimistic. i know that whatever happens, i feel that we should take it in a positive way and extract something good from it because there will always be something negative. gully sconce echo the minds of many guatemalans as the nation

prepares to cast its vote. the lead up to the election between center left candidates, the man what even in former 1st lady, some victories has been marked by smear campaigns, allegations of fraud and even concerns over the integrity of the democratic process . the upcoming national election not only represents a critical test of guatemalan democracy. there's concerns over worsening crime, food security and climate change. but it's the question over how to jumpstart the nation's economy. that resonates most among voters. it's one of the greatest challenges guatemala is next president will face is creating prosperity in a deeply on equal country where over 60 percent of the population lives below the poverty line. i look forward is perfect, is compounded by unemployment, worse and which conditions and also the increasing price is between 20212022 the basic cost of living rooms by 12 percent. but salaries only increased by one. so

these realities, generation, and immediate and daily concern among with them islands, that means they don't know. economists say a lack of job opportunities makes guatemala, one of the countries with the highest emigration rates in latin america. with them i looked in, which is what the amount of 80 percent of the economic, the active population disengaging in for my labors. so therefore, when population can find form unemployment, they typically have 2 options of working in the form of sector, or migrating to the united states just get on the federal fund, the admin to say begin issue. basically, the owner update goes coffee shop, says despite voter anxiety, there is hope the winter of sunday's election will have the necessary qualities to stir the nation toward a brighter economic future even basic and fertilizer. but they're, the people will have their see. what we're going to do is try to continue working in the best way, fulfilling our obligations to the extent we can. because the situation is also

complex. much like the intricate part of brewing the perfect cup of coffee, addressing the many economic challenges facing the country, will require a delicate balance of policy and strategy. a, the 0, guatemala city. and then, well, joins us now from guatemala city. just before you turn to your guest. manuela, how's the voting going? going to be with you, sir. all? yes, we are at a voting center here in guatemala city. is historic. center in the mood is good. actually, the sense that we get after talking to people throughout the course of this week, voters political analysts, economists. it's this eagerness to get this election over with this has been in the election season that's been marred by allegations of fraud concerns from international observers. like the secretary general, the o as who expressed concern over the, the democratic process itself. uh so yes, a lot of eagerness to get things over with indeed, but i do want to bring in

a guess this is my yellows. chang. i'm gonna step out of frame for a 2nd. she's going to give us a little bit of a better idea of what the importance of the selection might yellows we've been talking, you know, for outside years looking in the what's really grabbed the international audience's attention. is this question over whether or not quite a while it was about to go into a political prizes after really just the 1st round of voting? how critical is the question of democracy for guatemala and the selection? yeah, today, selection is a historical election for many reasons. but most importantly, because our democracy is that the risk on one hand, we have an option that symbolizes and represents the last 3 corrupt governments. on the other hand, we have a different option. the for many people that we choose, that option symbolizes hope symbolizes change. but most importantly, symbolizes the opportunity to stop the box lighting that we've had, suffer for our democracy over the last 3 years. and in terms of the candidates themselves, you know, whoever is going to win the selection and be bought

a mazda next president. certainly facing quite a few challenges, this question of malnutrition, the economy there's, there's a lot going on. what can you tell us in terms of the main difference between these 2 candidates in terms of policy and terms of ideology? i well, i want you to imagine that this is like my little marvels and games moving like the last month on one side we have the citizens with their ballots, with their freedom to choose and ready to defend their democracy. on the other side, we have some of the thought last, but also all there the, the other political, traditional parties that had been in wanting to get the, the, the, the winning and the selection. and they have the courts, they have the public ministry and they have every other a tactics that they will try to stop in this election for being a clean and transparent. so she, that's the thing that you can imagine like, and the wonder that in the, the, of the goals on the challenges in the future. it will be a lot of things to,

to work on a, we need to receive loose the institutions. we need to establish the confidence and institutions, but most importantly, we need to re establish the trust. that's what am all that can be a democracy in the future. and they have a and they can have for an investment and national investment in order to develop our infrastructure and our schools and also everything that we need to be a better country. and where would you talk to voters here despite the question of, of democracy certainly being a very important one economy seems to be on the very much on the minds of people. what can you tell us about that? i'm worried because none of the occurring in canada is, has a really strong offer or us release from the policy option to, to help economy to, to develop or to be recovered. so i would say the option for not a level of will have to be trying to focus on how to fight corruption. and this will be a challenge is because you will have to choose between trying to a did what to sick date in 2015. like trying to is resolve this in court or try to

resolve this with cases or try to a push for reforms. think additional reforms in order to stop people 4 o 4 in the future. 2 is to do corruption actions, but let's check. thank you so much for your time. and again, this is one of the reasons that we're seeing the selection turning out to be so interesting because you do have the question over democratic constitutionality of the future democracy of the country. but also a question over whether or not guatemalans in the today are going to be choosing to double down on the same policies of the last 3 presidential administrations, which is what's represented by candidates candidates. some of the thought is, or if the, the citizenry here voters are going to choose to take guatemala in a drastically new direction, which is seen represented by the center left candidate bidding out of the idea of un 0 metal over apollo reporting from guatemala city. thank you very much. the most go says ukraine attacked for separate russian regions on sunday. and course 5

people were injured when a drone hit a railway station. other ariel attacks were reported and rushed off and near the capital of moscow, russian defense ministry says the 12 drones were shot down outside belgrade near the ukrainian border. that's prime minister mark router says f. 16 fighter jets will be given to ukraine as soon as the conditions are met. president valid america lensky. welcome to what he is describing is a historic decision. ukraine has long called for war plains, which it says or essential to counter rushes. air force shows assume this is one more step and strengthening you cranes and offenses. we will use f, 16 jets to keep russian terrace away from ukrainian cities and villages mock and i have agreed on the number of f sixteens that will be provided to ukraine. after our pilots and engineers have been trained, alex on the harvard club, the is the editor in chief of the swiss military review,

and he explains how the supply of f, 16 fighter jets will impact ukraine's war if it's or you can imagine that the situation is going to change in the coming weeks and coming months because russian air forces has become emboldened by the facts that's a less and less of ukrainian aircraft. were able to take to the air and interest and fire miss files at that. so without a sufficient number of airplanes, the ukraine into air force cannot maintain it's, it's a territorial, it's the air space integrity. we're going to see in the coming months, more ukrainian airplanes. and therefore this will probably push back the rushing here force strength. these airplanes are multi roll ends because they are fitted with

a very comprehensive electronic suites and even the older generation f sixteens that you're talking about now has been modernized repeatedly. they are capable of air defense. they are capable of recognizance including electronic suppression, jamming missions, and of course, striking capabilities. so air to ground capabilities as well. the still ahead on alpha 0. these here is qu, leaders propose a 3 year transition to civilian rule, as they try to stave off the military intervention by their neighbors. thousands more people leave their homes in the canadian province of british columbia as far as buyers, rage across the country west. the

handle interplanetary mission. they were originally supposed to do this mission with the european space agency, but after they invaded the ukraine and everything sort of fell apart with partnerships around the world. so this was an opportunity to stay relevant and you know, this versioning field of everyone wanting to go to the moon. china has a lander on the far side of the moon. the united states has been to the moon countless times and are planning missions to go back. but in terms of other countries, you know, access to space is more readily available than it's ever been in history. so now all of these countries are trying to do the impossible to do the great things of, of getting to the moon and they're realizing that it's more difficult than what they expected. and these are the military leaders proposing a 3 year transition to civilian rule. the statement from general cheney is followed follow talks with
